After they stopped being capable of good UI design it became more lucrative to indulge in bad UI design and get a bunch of Stockholm syndrome baby ducks invested in it. Anyone trying to copy them would be producing bad UI that wouldn't get anyone to use their software and an inability to be exactly like Wangblows would ultimately prevent them from luring any of the baby ducks out of their lockstep waddle. It's a brilliant trap, especially since the defaults and suggestions will often attempt to cater to the Windows crowd, thus ensuring that everyone is scared off within minutes of installation.

This. KrashDE is a Windows 7 ripoff. GuhNome is a Mac OS Classic ripoff.
This is implying that there are unambiguously good DEs, the core concept of a DE is to abstract away as much as possible from the user. Use a WM instead.

Absolute state of braindead IQfy zoomers. You're too young to have used classic Mac OS, and anybody who has used Windows 2000 wouldn't think anything past it is a "good DE".

And Windows copied RISC OS.
Absolutely pure sovl
>claims windows 1.0 (released 1985)
>ripped off arthur/riscos (released 1987)
Is this the absolute state of IQfy I keep hearing about?
Windows before 95 didn't have a taskbar.
Because they know what's good for you, why do you think they're a trillion dollar company? They are peak compute.
function > aesthetics.
You're trying to compare apples to lemons, Black folk to hwite mayn

>windows incapable of good UI design

i just had to log into hotmail (or outlook now) for the first time in years and jesus the interface is comically shit
Why waste time on good UI design if you can just slap flatshit on everything and everyone will praise you
Because they have no taste.
